Posted on Jul 20, 2012

“If Entelechy aspired to be a landscape I think maybe it would be a salt marsh; an intertidal zone. The sociologist Richard Sennett makes the distinction between borders and boundaries.

In contrast Boundaries represent an impenetrable edge: no cross-overs, no interactions.”    — Entelechy Arts
